A 7.0 magnitude earthquake hit Lushan county [2] of Ya'an city in southwest China's Sichuan Province at 8:02 AM local time today. The Red Cross Society in China posted in its official micro-blog [3] [zh] expressing its concern over the disaster. However, many Chinese netizens who still remember the organization's corruption scandal [4] reacted in the comment section with the word “get lost” (滾) and a thumb down gesture.
